Right...I live on Vancouver Island, and cannot imagine the droughts, water rationing, searing temperatures and rampant destructive wild fires that California experiences, nor do I want to...I do like the palm trees here though. https://www.timescolonist.com/news/l...oria-1.1785139

So, the number of Canadians immigrating to the US each year is about 10x higher than the reverse.

This despite a 10-1 population difference (roughly).

So, the immigration disparity adjusted for population is about 100-1 in favor of the US.

.
Stop with all those facts and statistics that disprove Canada is better than America. Americans are just dying to wait in line for 6 months to see a specialist doctor.

It's funny when liberals realize that immigrating into Canada is much harder to do than immigrating into America and that when Canadians marry Americans, 9 times out of 10, the couple chooses to reside in America.

We Canadians are picky about who we allow in.

That's disingenuous, because the Cost-of-Living varies tremendously within the US.

There are people in Cincinnati earning $30,000 a year who make $10,000 more than people in White Plains, New Jersey earning $70,000.

The US government is well aware of that. That's why some single people in the US who earn $56,000 a year qualify for HUD Section 8 housing subsidies, while others who earn $14,001 are denied HUD Section 8 housing, because they earn too much money.

Not in Canada, it is not and no SJW group consider it so. You are myopic in your perspective. The USA has this weird thing of calling blacks "African-Americans" and wanting the rest of the world to follow that nomenclature. As a friend of mine from Ethiopia once told me, he was confused as all get out when the CBP form asked for "Race". He was looking for either "Negro" or "Black", neither which was there. When he asked the CBP officer what to put down, he was told, "African-American".

He informed the officer that he was neither an African (that is NOT a country), nor was he American. He also told me that was the first time he ever had to argue about his blackness.

Myopic perspectives not in sync with the rest of the world.

Huh? When I need a specialist, I get to see the as soon as needed. However, knee surgeries and hip replacements are not emergencies, and yes, they take time.

Seriously? Last week my Kidney specialist called me to set up a followup appointment Jan. 21st, and today my GP called and set up an appointment this Friday to discuss the results of my recent lab tests....I guess I must be special.

The quotation mark should be after the question mark.

I was able to see an ENT for a suspected ear issue within a few days of going into the clinic (which was able to see me after a 10 min wait). And yes, it was an actual ENT. And my issue was the furthest thing from an emergency.

The insurance companies certainly have Americans whipped. haha
